Though Ms. Martin was born in Spokane, Washington and presently resides in Clark County, Washington, she has spent a good portion of her life residing in the Portland-metropolitan area.  As a result, one of Lisa's objectives as a lawyer has always been to represent people in both Oregon & Washington.

Following law school, Lisa was an associate attorney for three years in a prominent, AV-rated law firm in Longview, Washington. There too her practice focused on family law. While practicing law in Longview, Ms. Martin was active in the legal community serving as a board member for the Cowlitz County CASA, Cowlitz-Wahkiakum County Legal Aid Program, and served as the vice president/President-elect for the Cowlitz-Wahkiakum County Bar Association.

Immediately prior to establishing her own firm and co-founding Martin & Veley, P.C. in 2008, Lisa practiced law in Portland for four years and represented both Oregon and Washington clients in high-asset divorce cases and other family law matters while employed by a Portland family law firm.

Presently, Ms. Martin is an active family law practitioner in Clark County, Washington as well as Multnomah, Washington, Clackamas and Columbia County, Oregon.  She has also represented clients and appeared in court on behalf of clients in other counties in both states. Her practice includes family law matters involving divorce, child custody, child support, spousal support, parenting plans, and domestic violence.  Please see our Practice Area page for more details.

Ms. Martin is a member of a number of professional organizations including the Washington State Bar Association, the Oregon State Bar Association; the Clark County Bar Association, and the Multnomah County Bar Association.
